The Blueye Underwater Drones
Take on complex underwater operations with power, precision, and control. A robust, powerful, and user-friendly inspection-class ROV developed in Norway.
4K UHD Camera
The camera is built to see in low light conditions - murky water, at the deep or in the shaded side of structures. 4K HDR holds detail across bright reflections and deep shadow in the same frame, and 8x zoom lets the pilot read a weld seam or hull marking without moving the drone closer.
AI & computer vision
The Nvidia Jetson Orin NX is a highly capable SoC well designed for edge computing for AI and computer vision, opening up new scenarios and use-cases, such as object detection and tracking, collision avoidance and situational awareness using sonar and camera for longer or more complex autonomous missions.
Image filters
The improved performance of the computer onboard the X3 Ultra and X7 enables advanced image filters such as turbidity, color, and lens correction filters in real time to enhance the video quality.
